In a blink of an eye, our three months of staff training are over, and we just finished our second week of DTS with our five wonderful students! God has been so faithful and good to our Deaf World Family in the last few months as we have continued with our plans for the DTS despite the setbacks and all the cleanup from the hurricane. As I reflect on the last three months, I see God’s hand and timing as we trained, prepared for the DTS, and bonded even more through this hurricane experience!

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows those who take refuge in Him. Nahum 1:7

WITNESSING GOD’S TRANSFORMATIVE WORK IN STUDENT’S LIVES

God’s perfect timing and provision was the theme from our six weeks in Gambia. At the start of outreach, I felt nervous about leading a team into a country I had never been to before. I did not know how we would meet Deaf people, navigate cultural and religious differences, and work out day-to-day logistics. But, I am here to say God showed up every single day. Leading a group of Deaf students in a Muslim country was stretching in so many ways; an experience that allowed me to grow immensely.

We came back to Jamaica for our final week of DTS - debrief and graduation week.
